Most of your comments on this thread have been illogical.

Companies are not required to dole out free food. Them changing their policies to only reimburse certain kinds of food can be met with you leaving the company if it matters that much to you.

You can bring your own food or pay for it out of your own pocket if you need to. They have stated people with medical/religious requirements that need meat will have their needs met.

I think his point was that such a heavy handed policy that runs contrary to the views of most of the world's population is problematic. Since there will be situations where employees have little or no choice but to eat company sponsored meals, I for one don't see that to be "illogical".

At my current workplace I can only work from home once per week. I would vastly prefer working from home than the uncomfortable chair and noisy working environment of the office, but I have to make do.

Options available to me are changing jobs, asking for a policy shift because of medical issues, etc.

If you have to eat a more ethically sourced and less savory meal because of work I don't see that to be a large issue.

It actually is a large issue. Deciding for an employee what they can eat, or highly encouraging it, is a huge issue.

Comparing working from home to eating is two totally different things.
